Narrative Assessment - 8 Mar 2016

Learner:  Wilson                 Learning Coach:  Talia Morgan       Date: 8 Mar 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I invited the learners to write a story about where they had been in the past. We modelled writing: “I went to the ...” and we found these words on the alphabet card, and said which colour box the words were in. We then talked about finding the initial letter of the place we had been by writing down the letter sounds we could hear; using the alphabet cards to help us. Wilson was able to find the sight words on the alphabet card and then came up with his own idea which he re-wrote above the learning coaches direction.  Wilson wrote “I went to the mountain.”

Evidence of learning

Wilson was able to find the sight words on the alphabet card and re-write the learning coaches writing of his idea. Great idea Wilson!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Wilson is developing his Capabilities in his writing. He was able to work by himself to think of an idea to write about and was able to re-write it above the learning coaches direction (Managing Self). Wilson is forming most of his letters correctly and is able to listen to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text). He was able to Think of his own idea to write about.

Next Learning Steps

Explicit teaching on listening for the common letter sounds. Continue to teach finding the basic words on the word card and writing them correctly. Continue to teach finding the sounds of initial letters on the word card to record for a story. Share learning with home.
